Glow in the dark cats

Glow in the dark cats

South Korean scientists say they have cloned cats whose genes have been altered so that they glow in the dark - taking advantage of a technological twist that could someday be used to make more dramatic genetic changes in all sorts of creatures.

A research team at Gyeongsang National University, headed by Kong Il-Keun, produced several kitty clones in January and February, the government-managed Korea.net news service reported Wednesday. This week the scientists showed off the cats, which now weigh about 7 pounds (3 to 3.5 kilograms) and glow a dull red under ultraviolet light.

"The ability to manipulate the fluorescent protein and use this to clone cats opens new horizons for artificially creating animals with human illnesses linked to genetic causes," the Ministry of Science and Technology said in Wednesday's report.

The procedure for cloning a cat has been around for six years, and Kong himself first performed that particular feat back in 2004. What's noteworthy about the newly reported twist - other than that glow-in-the-dark kitties are really cool - is that scientists fiddled with the donor cat's genetic code, then passed those changes on to the clones.

Here's what the researchers say they did: They took skin cells from Turkish Angora female cats and used a virus to insert the genetic instructions for making red fluorescent protein. Then they put the gene-altered nuclei into eggs for cloning. The cloned embryos were implanted back into the donor cats, which effectively became the surrogate mothers for their own clones.

Four kittens were born by Caesarian section, but one of them died during the procedure, according to the Korea Times. The fact that the kittens' skin cells glowed under ultraviolet light served as evidence that they were really gene-altered clones.

Assuming that the results are confirmed, Kong's cats would join mice and pigs in the glow-in-the-dark clone menagerie. The implication is that if you can pass along the easy-to-recognize coding for fluorescent markers through cloning, you could eventually pass along more complex genetic coding.

Theoretically, you could add in the coding for an endangered species, producing cloned hybrids to boost the gene pool for Sumatran tigers, Iberian lynxes and the like. You might even stick in the coding to give other creatures human diseases, so that they can be studied without raising the level of ethical concern that comes with human experimentation. (I realize that there's a different set of ethical concerns about such trangenic experiments, however.)

Most provocatively, animal clones might be genetically altered to produce human body parts. Does that sound like a way-out science-fiction plot? Well, it's already happening, and sparking an unsettling debate.

The homosexual movement’s push for adult-child sex

The homosexual movement’s push for adult-child sex

Shocking allegations by former child actor Michael Egan against openly “gay” “X-Men” director and producer Bryan Singer have stunned Hollywood into relative silence. I say “relative silence” because, unless he’s a Catholic priest, the relativist left’s false narrative is that a “gay” man is always the victim and never the victimizer.

Nonetheless, this latest episode has once again shined the spotlight on the long-established link between the homosexual lifestyle/movement and pedophilia – a link that, despite “progressive” denials to the contrary, is hiding in plain sight.

Egan has filed suit against Singer and several other high-profile Hollywood figures for homosexually assaulting him and other boys repeatedly at several “‘infamous‘ coke and twink pool parties” back when Egan was 15 and Singer was 32. (In the “LGBT” vernacular “twinks,” also called “chicken,” are highly sought-after underage boys used for sex by adult “gay” men.)

Egan’s claims eerily mirror those of former child actor Corey Feldman who similarly alleged last year that such homosexual abuse is rampant, even systemic, in Hollywood.

But are these allegations really that shocking? Regrettably, the overwhelming weight of the evidence indicates that the abuse runs rampant well beyond just Hollywood.

To be sure, not all homosexuals are pedophiles. Yet a grossly disproportionate number of them are. I don’t write this to be insensitive, “hateful,” intolerant or “homophobic.”

It’s “just the facts, Ma’am.”

Consider, for instance, a study published in the left-leaning Archives of Sexual Behavior of over 200 convicted pedophiles and pederasts. It found that “86 percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.” This demonstrates, as notes Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council, that “homosexual or bisexual men are approximately 10 times more likely to molest children than heterosexual men.”

This makes perfect sense when coupled with another 2001 study in the same peer-reviewed publication. It found that nearly half of all “gay”-identified men who participated in research were molested by a homosexual pedophile as boys: “46 percent of homosexual men and 22 percent of homosexual women reported having been molested by a person of the same gender. This contrasts to only 7 percent of heterosexual men and 1 percent of heterosexual women reporting having been molested by a person of the same gender.”

The connection between homosexual abuse and “gay identity” is undeniable. Although clearly not all “gay”-identified men and women abuse children, or were abused as children, the verifiable reality is that an alarmingly high percentage of them do and were. As with most forms of abuse, the cycle is both circular and vicious. “Born that way?” Not so much. “Made that way?” Sadly, it appears so.

But of equal concern is the fact that many of the most prominent “LGBT” activists across the globe have either overtly endorsed, or given their implicit approval of, what the left euphemistically calls “intergenerational intimacy” (read: child rape).

Take “marriage equality” activist Peter Tatchell, for instance. The GLAAD-affiliated blog “GoodAsYou” glowingly describes Tatchell as a “noted British rights activist.” He’s “one of the most widely respected leaders of the international LGBT movement” one of the blog’s commenters gushes.

Here’s what “widely respected” and “noted rights activist” Tatchell thinks of child rape. He wrote the following in The Guardian, one of the U.K.’s premier newspapers:

“The positive nature of some child-adult sexual relationships is not confined to non-Western cultures. Several of my friends – gay and straight, male and female – had sex with adults from the ages of nine to 13. None feel they were abused. … It is time society acknowledged the truth that not all sex involving children is unwanted, abusive and harmful.”

Or remember Kevin Jennings, President Obama’s “safe school czar” and founder of the sexual extremist group GLSEN?

Wrote the Washington Times of Jennings in 2009:

“A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an ‘older man.’ At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama’s ‘safe school czar.’ …

“In this one case in which Mr. Jennings had a real chance to protect a young boy from a sexual predator, he not only failed to do what the law required but actually encouraged the relationship.”

Jennings later lied about the encounter until audio surfaced of him bragging on it. “I looked at [the boy],” he quipped, “and said, ‘You know, I hope you knew to use a condom.’”

Still, this pattern of homosexual abuse and facilitation of such abuse by the “LGBT” movement is nothing new.

Take Jennings hero Harry Hay. Hay is considered the “founding father” of the modern “gay rights” movement. Among other things, he has been honored as an “icon” for “LGBT History Month” by the entire homosexual activist community.

Not surprisingly, Hay was a child rape enthusiast and avid supporter of the pedophile North American Man/Boy Love Association, or NAM/BLA. In 1983, while keynoting a NAM/BLA event, Hay said the following:

“It seems to me that in the gay community the people who should be running interference for NAM/BLA are the parents and friends of gays. Because if the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what 13-, 14-, and 15-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world.”

Or take “LGBT” martyr Harvey Milk, a sexual predator known to have statutorily raped, repeatedly, a drug-addicted, teenage, runaway boy. Milk’s punishment? The Obama administration just awarded him an honorary USPS postage stamp.

Am I the only one who sees the pattern here? Has the goddess of “tolerance” really driven the world completely blind with madness?

If consistency holds, and these allegations against Bryan Singer prove true (the evidence suggests they well may), I’ll wager he ends up with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the next keynote at the annual HRC Gala.

I’ll also wager that, either way, we’ll soon begin seeing more “intergenerational sex” aficionados “coming out of the closet.”

Welcome to the bottom of the slippery slope.

Texas AG Abbott Doubles Down on 'Come and Take It' Statement
“This is alarming and disturbing because private property owners in Texas have owned this land that abuts up against the Red River for generations,” Abbott said. “They have cultivated it and they have produced off of it now. And now seemingly out of the blue, the federal government is coming in and trying to seemingly stake a claim to what we think is private property owned by Texans. And so what we are doing is firing off this letter to the Bureau of Land Management to find out exactly what it is they are looking into because we feel that for one, at a minimum, they are overreaching, trying to grab land that belongs to Texans. 

Opposing worldviews: Bundy supporters 'patriots' – or 'terrorists'?
During a recent debate on Nevada radio station KSNV, the political divide between Nevada's two U.S. senators became clear. Republican Dean Heller called the militia groups camped out at Clive Bundy's ranch "patriots," while Democrat Harry Reid labeled them "domestic terrorists." 

Federal Arrogance Fuels The New Sagebrush Rebellion
This is not new. It is merely a continuation of the Sagebrush Rebellion that began under the regime of the odious James Earl Carter.

At scene of Nevada ranch standoff, 'citizen soldiers' are on guard
The first thing you see on the drive to Cliven Bundy's ranch are the American flags — tied to roadside guardrails, flapping in a hard desert wind. ..."State sovereignty is what we're fighting for," reads a sign strung to a fence. And another: "The West has now been won!" 

In preparation for their next move, the Feds are launching a propaganda smear campaign to make Bundy and the Patriot Movement out to be nothing but a bunch of racist white supremacists and turn the general low-information sheeple's opinion against them.

Feds To Hit Bundy Ranch Again With Multi-Agency Force Including Army Rangers; Covert Video Of Staging Area

Based on a report by investigative journalist Doug Hagmann who said that a highly placed source inside the Department of Homeland Security told him that the BLM withdrawal was a fake and that they intended to return with greater numbers. Hagmann also stated that his DHS informant told him that the first raid on the Bundy compound was an exercise designed to determine what kind of resistance the government will face should gun confiscations begin.

The very next day on Ben Swann’s radio program Sheriff Richard Mack of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association revealed that he had received intelligence from multiple credible sources inside the BLM and Las Vegas Metro that there is “no question” that the federal government is planning a second raid on the Bundy home and the homes of their children who live on the property.

Harry Reid doesn’t think it’s over either, and he said so in an interview with mynews4.com

And then “Dingy Harry” doubled down by calling everybody that supports the Bundy’s “domestic terrorists” in an interview published by the Las Vegas Review Journal. How can the government let “domestic terrorists” run free? They are going to have to do something or lose all credibility in the eyes of even the most ardent Obama supporters. Judging by the comments left by liberals around the blogosphere, the progressive left is fully in support of squashing the Bundy’s like bugs. Some have even suggested that the Bundy’s be struck with drones.

Since that initial information came out both Mack and Hagmann have said that the publicity generated by their reports has caused the federal government to go back to the drawing board. Apparently what they’ve done is call for reinforcements because the last time the federal government stood toe to toe with patriots they were badly outgunned and a massacre was narrowly avoided.

I need to reiterate here that backing down from a group of armed protesters makes the federal government look extremely weak. This is something that the entire world has come to realize about Barack Obama, that he is the weakest president this country has ever had the misfortune of seeing in office. Even though it was really al-Qaeda terrorists that used chemical weapons in Syria and not Syrian Pres. Bashar al-Assad, Obama was seen as ‘womanly” by the Arab world when he did not take action once his so-called “Red Line” had been crossed.

Right now the rest of the world is watching and laughing at the weakness of Barack Hussein Obama as Russian president Vladimir Putin bends him over on the world stage and spanks him viciously nearly every single day. Obama is a joke, and the whole world sees it. Now the American people are seeing it too, and being the malignant narcissist that he is Obama just will not let that stand; he can’t. He cannot allow a few brave patriots to stand up against him and succeed.

A video posted by Freedom Fighters 2127 News claimed a source in Las Vegas had been told by a law enforcement officer that there were about 140 agents in Las Vegas where the government has set up a staging area for a second, more forceful, raid on the ranch. The video goes on to say that Las Vegas hotels are being filled with federal agents; BLM Rangers and FBI that are arriving in unmarked vehicles. “J,” Freedom Fighter’s source, said that the vehicles are being parked in secure areas and parking lots in the Las Vegas area. “J” says this doesn’t include those agents who may be flying in to take part in the raid.

Beat the drums louder...

... they would beat on the drums in order to drown out the cries of the screaming children.

THE HISTORY OF HINNOM
The name, valley of "the children of Hinnom" or "the son of Hinnom" indicates that perhaps it was originally named after a certain family who lived there.
It was located just south of the city of Jerusalem and was a well-known place to people in Bible times.
No one is quite certain where the name "Tophet" came from or what it means (cf. Jer.19:6; cf. II Kings 23:10).
Many Bible teachers believe that the name comes from the Hebrew word toph, which means "drum." When the idol-worshippers were sacrificing their little babies to Baal or to Molech, they would put them in the fire and the little babies would scream (II Kings 23:10; cf. Jer.19:5).

As the babies started screaming they would beat on the drums in order to drown out the cries of the screaming children. Therefore, toph or "drum" became "Tophet."

The Occult Meaning of Lady Gaga’s Video “G.U.Y.”
While one could argue that Gaga playing the role of a fallen angel might not inherently imply that she’s referring to Lucifer, a look at the symbolism later in the video strongly points towards it. Indeed, much of the video plays on the esoteric associations between Lucifer, Venus and Ishtar.

Air Force Captain Beaten Up By Police In His OWN Home

A highly-honored Air Force Captain, Nicolas Aquino, is speaking out against how he was treated by his local sheriff’s office, when they tackled him to the ground in his own home, accusing him of being an intruder.  According to police, they arrived at Mr. Aquino’s house after a neighbor reported a burglary suspicion.  The police arrived to Aquino’s front porch and proceeded to ask for identification.

Aquino, confused by the request, asked the police what was going on.  As they continued to ask for identification, Aquino showed it to the police officer, but according to the police officer he did not let him see the ID.  The officer from the sheriff’s department went to place him under arrest, at which point he claims Aquino began resisting.

Aquino maintains that he never resisted and that he responded respectfully to the officer’s requests.  Aquino also says that he never had a weapon, even though the police report shows that the officer almost drew his own weapon when he claims Aquino’s hands were moving towards his waistline, something Aquino contends is just not correct.

Eventually, Aquino proved to the officer in his home that it was in fact his home and that he was not a burglar.  The police officer left, but then weeks later, Aquino had a warrant for his arrest for the charges of obstruction and resisting arrest.

City Of Boston Now A Police State On Permanent Surveillance Lockdown

City Of Boston Now A Police State On Permanent Surveillance Lockdown

In a pattern that is being repeated in major cities all across America, hyper-invasive monitoring systems, powered by Artificial Intelligence, are going up under the pretext of keeping the people 'safe from future terror attacks'. The campaign of fear currently being waged, not by terrorists but by the United States Federal Government, has us convinced that the only way to stay safe is to relinquish our freedoms. All of them. That's something that Americans are now doing at a sickening, astonishing rate.

Boston: Following the Boston Marathon bombings almost one year ago, the Boston Police Department started looking toward more high-tech means of securing the city against future attacks. They found the solution in the form of an artificially intelligent, self-learning surveillance network that now watches the entire city, and all of its inhabitants.

Mommy, Don’t Eat Me!

Mommy, Don’t Eat Me!

http://www.zombierescueteam.org/2013/11/15/mommy-dont-eat-me/

If 50 million babies murdered by their own mothers in the womb isn’t repulsive enough, some mothers – and fathers for that matter – are now becoming so depraved that they are willing not only to murder, but eat their own children! Sadly, the cannibalistic endeavors of these parents has become so prevalent that the University of Montreal did a study to try to find out what on earth would trigger a mother’s desire to eat her child.

In 2009, a mother was caught after decapitating and eating parts of the body of her three-week-old son. She said that she had done it at the request of Satan.

(1) In 2012, a mother in Thailand cooked and ate her sons, aged one and five, and was found by police sleeping in her home surrounded by their body parts.

(2) In 2012, Brazilian police broke up a ring that used Internet file-sharing to distribute child pornography in at least 34 countries. Inspector Diana Calazans Mann told reporters that the files exchanged by members of the group were “very repugnant.” She said there were images of “infants, children and teenagers being sexually abused. We were extremely shocked with the images,” she added. “I have never seen anything as bad.” Investigators also found “accounts written by members of the ring describing acts of cannibalism, as well as the rape of children by their parents, kidnaps and murders.”[sic]

(3) In North Korea, a father was reportedly executed after killing his two kids. Apparently, while his wife was away on business, the father killed his eldest daughter, and then murdered his son, who had witnessed the crime. When the wife came home he told her, “we have meat,” but she grew suspicious and alerted authorities, who then found the remains of their children. There is much concern that these are not isolated incidents, but rather cannibalism is on the rise in North Korea because of a food shortage that has reportedly left 10,000 dead. Another man was arrested for digging up his dead grandchild to dine on, as well as another man who is said to have gone “mad with hunger” and boiled his child for dinner.

(4) Parents are not the only ones committing this horrific act. Strangers are also trying to take children to eat as food. In July 2011, a mother was walking with her sister in downtown Los Angeles when a 36-year-old homeless woman snatched her baby boy from his stroller and slammed him into a pole. She then tried to break off his arm so she could eat it.

(5) In 2010, four teens involved in a Russian satanic cannibalistic cult were caught in a case “so gruesome that officials closed the courtroom to the general public. The members, four of whom were teenagers at the time of the murders in June 2008, stabbed each of the victims 666 times as a part of their initiation ritual. They dismembered the bodies, cooked them in bonfires, and ate them before burying them in a forest nearby Moscow.”

(6) In 2012, 29 suspects were arrested for killing and eating 7 witch doctors in the remote northeast interior of Papua New Guinea. While only 29 of them have been caught thus far, there is said to be between 700 and 1,000 cult members in several villages in the region.

(7) Sadly, the murdering of our own young is not something entirely new. For example, King Solomon (9th century BC) was the wisest man on earth. He wrote the book of Proverbs as well as Ecclesiastes. Kings and queens traveled great distances to hear his wisdom. He was even used to write multiple books of the bible and was used by God to do many other amazing things. But even Solomon did not heed the warnings of The Lord:

“As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD…On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable god of Moab, and for Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites…The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.” –1 Kings 11

Solomon not only took many wives, as God warned him not to do, he went as far as sacrificing his own children to the pagan god Molek!

Flavius Josephus, a first century Jewish historian, recorded the sad history that Israel went through in Jerusalem during The Siege of Jerusalem, 70 A.D. and what came upon one of the mothers during this time.

“So, driven by fury and want, she committed a crime against nature. Seizing her child, an infant at the breast, she cried, ‘My poor baby, why should I keep you alive in this world of war and famine? Even if we live till the Romans come, they will make slaves of us; and anyway, hunger will get us before slavery does; and the rebels are crueler than both. Come, be food for me, and an avenging fury to the rebels, and a tale of cold horror to the world to complete the monstrous agony of the Jews.’ With these words she killed her son, roasted the body, swallowed half of it, and stored the rest in a safe place.” –Flavius Josephus, The Siege of Jerusalem, AD 70

Not only was this prophetically depicted in great detail by our Lord Jesus Christ on Mt. Olivet some 40 years before it happened, but God’s Word warns over and over that this would befall Jerusalem. The Bible predicted not only the siege that took place under Titus, but even the fact that Israel’s disobedience would turn to famine and, in doing so, the women would in turn eat their own children.

In Leviticus Chapter 26, Israel is given explicit instructions on the penalties God will give them if they continue to walk in disobedience:

“And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me, then I will act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you seven times for your sins [....] Further, you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters you will eat.” –Leviticus 26:23-24, 29

Whether the culprits do so knowingly or not, they are actually being used as agents of Satan. The Bible warns that the gods of the nations are actually demons. So when Solomon sacrificed his own children to Molek, he was actually sacrificing them to a demon. The Bible tells us that Satan is working through the sons of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2). It also tells us that we are either the temple of the living God or the temple of demons (2 Corinthians 6:15-16). The fact is, if we do not submit ourselves to the will of God, there are no bounds to the depravity we can reach. If we exchange the grace of our God in order to be used as a tool for the enemy, there is no telling just how wicked we can get. The proof is in the pudding.

Obama confiscates National Guard helicopters from all 50 states

Martial law: Obama confiscates National Guard helicopters from all 50 states

As if the Obama administration's purchase of more than 2 billion rounds of ammunition, and nearly 3,000 urban tanks, along with their unprecedented (and highly illegal) domestic spying program was not enough to convince you that the federal government is about to suspend the Constitution once and for all, the man who once vowed to run "the most transparent administration in history" has just rather inexplicably, ordered the U.S. Army to seize every Apache attack helicopter currently in use by the National Guard.

In all, the Defense Department will confiscate 192 Apaches from National Guard units around the country and give them to the active duty Army.

Militias head to Nevada rancher’s standoff with feds: We’re not ‘afraid to shoot’

Militias head to Nevada rancher’s standoff with feds: We’re not ‘afraid to shoot’
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s decades-long battle against the federal government over grazing rights has heated to the point where militia groups have joined in and taken up spots against the feds who’ve circled his land — and talk is, they’re not afraid to open fire. A spokesman for the one of the militia groups said as much to local 8 News Now: I’m not “afraid to shoot,” he said.


Many have predicted a catalyst event that sparks civil war...  Even if this is not it, it is likely this will be used as yet another excuse to take away our right to bear arms...

Look for an agent provocateur who has infiltrated the militia ranks to fire the first shot...

Dick Morris: Bill Clinton 'Hated' Janet Reno, and Waco Made It Worse
Dick Morris says one of the main reasons the Bureau of Land Management released the livestock was to avoid a repeat of armed confrontations that ended in civilian fatalities such as those in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992 and in Waco, Texas, in 1993. "You simply cannot have any reason for the federal government to start firing on its people, and you add 200 armed people, including snipers, surrounding that property to round up 2,000 head of cattle," 

Reports: Company Tied to Reid's Son Wants Land in Bundy Standoff
